Pharmaceutical companies must contend with challenges from supply chain lapses (theft, diversion, S.O.P. deviations, product recalls, reverse logistics etc.) counterfeiting and stringent regulations. These challenges get compounded when dealing across the states and country business operations, besides that not only impact tangible profits but also the intangible brand credibility. In this context, there is also a credible increase in public awareness about the genuineness of medicine (in particular medicine that require cold chain) and their predictability of clinical outcomes. Providing visibility and full traceability becomes a paramount importance to both the Industry and the Govt. – A fool proof solution not only brings transparency in the system, but can also be a key differentiator, and undoubtedly can create immense opportunities for a competitive advantage.

GCCs - Indian Pharma moves up the Value Chain...

After settling down comfortably into my seat on a flight from Chicago to San Francisco, I started browsing through my digital copy of the latest issue of The Economist. Much to my surprise, I saw an article titled, The Usefulness of Managers beginning with the sentence, "Is your manager really necessary?" Bingo!!! My mind went back to so many discussions we keep having about our Indian Pharma industry and the various arguments about line management and their contributions, role clarity, their usefulness and the often-asked question, “Are they really effective?” When the top leadership says, that effective managers are a rare breed with comments such as, “they are the weakest link in our chain”, my mind keeps racing through with the thought as to, “if they are not, who has to be responsible to make them effective?” Having been a line manager and climbing the ladder against odds, I can understand and empathise with both sides of this management world. However, when these doubts and questions keep raising its head often, my curiosity quotient kept raising a question, “Are we in Indian pharma very unique to have such challenges?” A chance meeting I had with a team of Google senior management personnel based in Google’s headquarters in California during this trip gave me an interesting insight on what Google did and what it continues to do. Much to my solace I found that their apprehensions were similar to what we in Indian Pharma face. The differentiating factor was that their "people operations" team (HR) has applied the Google Way (data analytics) to management analysis and developed a manifesto entitled Eight Habits of Highly Effective Google Managers.
